1831. Granulomatosis after autologous stem cell transplantation in nonHodgkin lymphoma : experience of single institution and a review of literatureLučka Boltežar, Ivana Žagar, Barbara Jezeršek Novaković, 2016, review article Abstract: Sarcoidosis before and after treatment of malignancy is an important differential diagnosis that has to be distinguished from lymphoma. Patients and methods. Hodgkin lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and aggressive follicular lymphoma are being staged and treatment effect is evaluated with PET-CT. We report three cases of aggressive lymphoma after high dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation with positive lymph nodes on PET-CT, which were histologically diagnosed as sarcoidosis/granulomatosis. In the literature, we found that false positive lymph nodes were more common after allogeneic than after autologous transplantation. Conclusions. Post-treatment PET-CT positive lymph nodes should always be examined histologically prior to any further treatment decision to avoid unnecessary toxic procedures.

1836. Towards the development of a landslide activity map in SloveniaMateja Jemec Auflič, Krištof Oštir, Tanja Grabrijan, Matjaž Ivačič, Tina Peternel, Ela Šegina, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: To create the landslide activity map, we implemented and tested the procedure to fully utilise the 6-day repeatability of the Sentinel-1 constellation in three pilot areas in Slovenia for the observation period from 2017 to 2021. The interferometric processing of the Sentinel-1 images was carried out with ENVI SARScape, while the interpretation of the persistent scatterers InSAR data was done in three steps. In the first step, a preliminary interpretation of the landslide areas was performed by integrating the PS InSAR data into a GIS environment with information that could be relevant to explain the movement patterns of the PS InSAR points. In the second step, a field validation was performed to check the PS InSAR in the field and record the potential damage to the objects indicating the slope mass movements. In the third step, the deformations were identified, and areas of significant movement were determined, consisting of clusters of at least 3 persistent scatterers (PS) with a maximum spacing of 10 m. The landslide activity map was created based on the landslide areas categorised into four classes based on the geotechnical analyses, yearly velocity data obtained by PS InSAR, and validation of annual velocity data obtained by in-situ and GNSS monitoring and field observation. A total of 21 polygons with different landslide activities were identified in three study areas. The overall methodology will help stakeholders in the early mapping and monitoring of landslides to increase the urban resilience.

1838. Revealing subtle active tectonic deformation: integrating lidar, photogrammetry, field mapping, and geophysical surveys to assess the Late Quaternary activity of the Sava Fault (Southern Alps, Slovenia)Petra Jamšek Rupnik, Jure Atanackov, Barbara Horn, Branko Mušič, Marjana Zajc, Christoph Grützner, Kamil Ustaszewski, Sumiko Tsukamoto, Matevž Novak, Blaž Milanič, Anže Markelj, Kristina Ivančič, Ana Novak, Jernej Jež, Manja Žebre, Miloš Bavec, Marko Vrabec, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: We applied an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the late Quaternary activity of the Sava Fault in the Slovenian Southern Alps. The Sava Fault is an active strike-slip fault, and part of the Periadriatic Fault System that accommodated the convergence of Adria and Europe. It is one of the longest faults in the Southern Alps. Using high-resolution digital elevation models from lidar and photogrammetric surveys, we were able to overcome the challenges of assessing fault activity in a region with intense surface processes, dense vegetation, and relatively low fault slip rates. By integrating remote sensing analysis, geomorphological mapping, structural geological investigations, and near-surface geophysics (electrical resistivity tomography and ground penetrating radar), we were able to find subtle geomorphological indicators, detect near-surface deformation, and show distributed surface deformation and a complex fault pattern. Using optically stimulated luminescence dating, we tentatively estimated a slip rate of 1.8 ± 0.4 mm/a for the last 27 ka, which exceeds previous estimates and suggests temporal variability in fault behavior. Our study highlights the importance of modern high-resolution remote sensing techniques and interdisciplinary approaches in detecting tectonic deformation in relatively low-strain rate environments with intense surface processes. We show that slip rates can vary significantly depending on the studied time window. This is a critical piece of information since slip rates are a key input parameter for seismic hazard studies.
